Episode 165: This is My Pity Party. And Yes, There’s Food

Apr 25, 2025
 

 

You know those days when you’ve hit your breaking point and you throw yourself a pity party… and food is the guest of honor? I’m talking sweat pants, messy bun, and diving head first into a pint of Ben and Jerry’s kind of day? If that’s been your day, or your week… or honestly, your life… this episode’s for you. Keep listening. Because today’s pity party’s got a plot twist.

 

Together, we will unpack:

  • Why your late-night snack attack isn’t a lack of willpower. 
  • The real reason emotional eating spikes at night.
  • How your Good Girl Spiral leads straight to the emotional eating food buffet.
  • The neuroscience of why you raid the pantry when life feels too life-ey (and how to interrupt the cycle).
  • The surprising connection between midlife stress and the food you can’t stop eating.
